FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability:

Turnover

:

Erratic

[

2008 - 2010

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Increased

[

2008 - 2010

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Acceptable

[

15.55%

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Acceptable

[

16.05%

]


The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players. The higher profit could be attributed to the increase in turnover. The SC's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.

Working Capital Control:

Stock Ratio

:

Favourable

[

32 Days

]

Debtors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

13 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

25 Days

]


The SC's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The favourable debtors' days could be due to the good credit control measures implemented by the SC. The SC had a favourable creditors' ratio as evidenced by its favourable collection days. The SC could be taking advantage of the cash discounts and also wanting to maintain goodwill with its creditors.

Liquidity:

Liquid Ratio

:

Favourable

[

2.11 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Favourable

[

2.43 Times

]


A minimum liquid ratio of 1 should be maintained by the SC in order to assure its creditors of its ability to meet short term obligations and the SC was in a good liquidity position. Thus, we believe the SC is able to meet all its short term obligations as and when they fall due.

Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Favourable

[

17.64 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.31 Times

]


The interest cover showed that the SC was able to service the interest. The favourable interest cover could indicate that the SC was making enough profit to pay for the interest accrued. The SC was lowly geared thus it had a low financial risk. The SC was mainly financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated funds. In times of economic slowdown / downturn, the SC being a lowly geared company, will be able to compete better than those companies which are highly geared in the same industry.

Overall Assessment:

Although the turnover was erratic, the SC had maintained a steady growth in its profit. This indicate the management's efficiency in controlling its costs and profitability. The SC was in good liquidity position with its total current liabilities well covered by its total current assets. With its current net assets, the SC should be able to repay its short term obligations. With the favourable interest cover, the SC could be able to service all the accrued interest without facing any difficulties. The SC as a lowly geared company, will be more secured compared to those highly geared companies. It has the ability to meet all its long term obligations.

Overall financial condition of the SC : STRONG

INDUSTRY COMMENTS

 

MSIC CODE

01117 : Oil Palm Estate

15142 : Manufacture of crude palm oil

 

 

INDUSTRY :

PALM OIL


Inventory levels and the La Nina weather patterns will determine the price of palm oil, which hit a 30-month high on 13 December 2010 while Crude palm oil (CPO) for February delivery rose RM89 to close at RM3,722. The prices expect to be firm over the next few months on sustained demand due to end-year festivities and the coming Chinese New Year holidays despite Malaysian plantations going into a production down-cycle after hitting a peak in October.


Inventory in November 2010, which stood at 1.63 million tonnes, was 15.4% lower than a year ago. Besides, wetter weather conditions going into the first quarter of 2011 as a result of the La Nina weather patterns could still affect the planting season and therefore prices going forward.


The CPO prices to be firm over the next few months on sustained demand due to end-year festivities and will hover around the RM3,000 to RM3,500 levels by the middle of year 2011.


According to the Malaysian Palm Oil Board, CPO production in November, at 1.45 million tonnes, was 8.6% lower than a year ago and 10.8% down from October, where there was a recovery despite the weather conditions, while year-to-date, it was 1.8% weaker than last year. While exports registered a slight 0.1% decline from a year ago, it recovered on a month-on-month basis and year-to-date, was up 4.8% compared to the same period in year 2009.


Inventories would depend on demand and the weather. The weather conditions would be like six months down the road but the current weather conditions were not normal. It's not normal to see the flooding that we've seen in the northern part of the peninsula or the extreme cold conditions in Europe.


In a report that the November data was the worst November performance since 2005. While investors should watch out for softening prices starting from mid-2011, there is no any urgency to underweight the sector at this point in time as palm oil price should remain relatively firm given that the supply tightness will persist in the next few months.


The house's average CPO price expectation of RM2,700 per tonne for next year on expectations of a potential bumper harvest in the second-half while for 2010, the CPO price was on track to hit an average price of RM2,700.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Strong Growth

 

COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATION

 

 

Founded 1968, the SC is principally engaged in the cultivation of oil palms and the operation of palm oil mills. Over the years, the SC has growing steadily in the market with a paid up capital standing at RM433.16 million. Such a huge paid up capital has brighten the SC's future prospect. The SC was listed in the Bursa Malaysia in 1991 and this has enabled the SC to have direct access to the capital market for funds required for its future expansion and continued growth. With its long track record in the business, its general reputation is good.


Both turnover and profit figures have increased substantially in 2010 compared to financial year 2009. Return on shareholders' funds of the SC was at an acceptable range which indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate income. The SC is in good liquidity position with its current liabilities well covered by it scurrenbt assets. Hence, it has sufficient working capital to meet its short term financial obligations. Being a lowly geared company, the SC is exposed to low financial risk as it is mainly dependent on its internal funds to finance its business needs. The SC has a strong net worth.


Based on the above condition, we recommend a fairly large amount of credit be granted to the SC promptly.
